Athletics:
The degree of support for the Universities Varsity sports is quite astonishing. The fan base is very large and a great majority of the University's students take part in such sporting events. Although such events are a great place to meet with friends, the level of pride for our home team is very contagious which is what I believe offers such a great turn out for the schools most popular sports.

Scholarships:
I would not dispute the amount of Scholarships available within the university but I believe that there are not enough for those who are not need based students. It was astonishing to learn of the high level of diversity of scholarships offered but, personally, not many were applicable to myself.

Administration:
It is very assuring when walking through the campus to not only see the emergency posts but also the police. Being new to the University I have yet to see a great deal of complaints against the University's strictness but I conclude that such instances are in a minimum since there is a great presence of officials throughout the Tempe campus.

Off-Campus Housing:
While it is typically easy to find off-campus housing (particularly if one can get their housing requirement waived at ASU), one will find that staying at ASU can be very similar in most of its aspects.

Local Area:
Tempe is a college town. Mostly college students live there. There is a main shopping street. The nightlife is really good; most of the area surrounding is bars. Tempe town lake is close by and is really nice to bike around.

Overall ExperienceWhat's this?

Arizona State is like no other university in the country. With a large, vibrant, and exciting student body that truly makes the campus unique, there is no arguing that ASU is by any means a boring place to be for the next four years of your life. As soon as you step onto ASU's campus, you will feel the immense amount of positive and exciting energy that gives you sense of belonging. Even though there are so many students around campus, you will be sure to find a niche to call your own. College is the time to find yourself and truly learn who you are as you prepare for the real world. ASU provides the perfect environment to challenge you to make "adult" decisions, and you won't always, but by the end of it all, you will mature into a dedicated individual!

Even though students will struggle with all-nighters, sports practice, parking tickets, and trying to recover from a great night, many of them couldn't ask for anything else. There will be times that you are drowning in homework and studying, but by the end of it all, you will look back and laugh. Your peers help you get through the tough times and make those social outings even more fun. ASU knows how to party hard, but when it comes to crunch time, we pull it off well. The kids here know how to have a great time, the nightlife and social settings are extremely fun, the academics are quite challenging—especially when you apply yourself and take it seriously—but most importantly, students will leave prepared for post-graduation and taking on the world. ASU is a fantastic place to meet new people and a great way to experience life in the great southwest. But don't take my word for it—come on out and experience it for yourself!
